Authoring Tool Generator for Intelligent Tutoring Systems

چکیده
The Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) must deal both with strategy and knowledge in order to help students in the teaching/learning process. The knowledge in generally passed on to the students via teaching/learning activities, which may be generated by an Authoring Tool instead of being embedded in the tutor project. This way, the tutoring system can be both simpler and more flexible, providing the expert teacher with more freedom to generate new activities with the assistance of computer science professionals. Considering the diverse knowledge domains focused in ITSs, it looks useful the availability of an Authoring Tools Generator (ATG) to cope with all these different areas. An authoring tool generated by the ATG works as the link between the teacher and the ITS. Therefore, it must contain an easy to use and clear interface for the teacher to define the activities and at the same time must have a low level structure that allows a straightforward interpretation process done by a computer program.

Authoring the knowledge base for an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) is difficult and time consuming. In many ITS, the knowledge base is used for solving problems, so authoring it is an instance of the notoriously difficult knowledge acquisition problem of expert systems. General tools for knowledge acquisition have shown only limited success, which suggests developing tools that apply only to...
